Cautiously optimistic. If this is the kind of humor to expect I like it more then BL3.

I'd still wait for sale however

What a sultry vixen.

Day 1 mate.

This character has mystique, Concord didn't have mystique.

 

[MrRibeye]

Expected the worst, but this character short was the best one I've seen in years in the industry.

Her co-worker comitting suicide was funny, her accidentaly slicing everybody including her crush was unexpcted, the camp fire conversation added mystery. It was excellent.

That purple color is dogwhistle for Blue + Pink. it's a gender shit. That shit was in Veilguard and Avowed, too.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

just awful

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I don't know if Gearbox is trying their hardest to have ugly playable characters, or what, but i can't stand any of them since BL3. Why is it so difficult for them to introduce a character creator in BL? This studio has never heard of improving your main IP.

It's called bisexual lighting

Bisexual lighting - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I don't think that is the case here. This character's theme is purple, ie Purple Friday. I expect the other characters probably have their own themed colors. Other Borderland 4 marketing material and the main art they have shown is Red and Yellow. So while bisexual lighting is a thing, bisexual lighting does not own the color purple and I'm fairly sure this is just the theme color for this character and not a woke dog whistle.

This would be purple if this was bisexual lighting. These are hyper masculine colors and the chick this thread is about bares her midriff for the male gaze. This game is definitely less woke than 3.

Meh

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

It was less cringe than I expected, I'll give it that.

 

[Stafford]

Yeah, that first video is cool. I dig that kind of humor as well and it's probably already funnier and more enjoyable than Borderlands 3 was in those regards.

[MagiusNecros]

This character's theme is purple

Reminds me of Bass/Treble and Super Bass form from Megaman. Down to the Purple Monster companion and the Warlock/Demon form.

The Purple energy is more in line with standard dark and evil looking attacks.

I'm curious if the Eldritch blast looking skill is the green fireball. WoW Chaos Bolt vibes.

 

[Pop]

Maybe for $40

 

[Dalbajobas]

Not feeling the 2 pence music, but game itself look about the same as 3. Will still get it on a sale.

Dunno if someone wants to make a separate topic for this.

The PC version will have 2 DRM's on top of each other.

it could be up to four if you add steam and epic.

Double the protection

half the framerate

Old news. They should probably clarify on more then just a Steam thread IMO. Page 11 on the Pinned Denuvo Megathread. There was confusion if Symbiote was related to the malware that had Kernel level access and it supposedly does not.

From one of the developers

"Hello all,

We have seen some questions about Symbiote. Symbiote is not a DRM tool and was erroneously added to the Steam page, where we've removed it. Symbiote is an internal code name for our proprietary anti-tamper tech used to prevent exploits, including store platform spoofing. It operates strictly in user mode, meaning it does not run at the kernel level."

Still I'd take it with a healthy grain of salt.

Speaking of crap games, gamepass etc..

Who in the fuck wanted another Borderlands game? I played about 15 mins of the 1st one and never touched it again.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

her gameplay seems like a siren version of gauge.

So while bisexual lighting is a thing

It's not a thing, the whole wiki article is a joke and you can see even on the talk page people calling it out being bullshit; it's was basically just a meme and then culture war idiots started believing it.
Not as retarded as waging a war against purple because you believe it's a "dogwhistle" though lol.

I didn't know which was funnier about that post, calling a color a dogwhistle or not correctly knowing the 1st grade knowledge that red+blue = purple

 

[Mipcgamer]

That was much better than expected! Getting a bit hyped ngl.

 

[Branded]

I have to admit after watching some previews of this I kind of like what I am seeing. Not that I'll ever buy it day one though mind you as you can just buy these games ultra cheap with all of the extra content a few months (or years) down the line. But I'm definitely not as cynical towards it anymore.

Anyway in order to still get my Borderlands itch I finally started the Pre-Sequel today and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it runs flawlessly from the get-go on PC, with minimal tinkering required. As always I have no idea what's going on with the story or who I am or what I am doing but I kind of love the chill vibes at the start of this game so this is definitely going to be the game to boot up after work for me.

I actually also bought the Super Deluxe Edition of Borderlands 3 today so I might finish two of these and pick up BL4 next year or so. I'm not even that big of a fan of this franchise but you can't deny the looter shooter goodness of these games.

Oh nice 60+ fps will be a struggle for anything, but top end CPU's.

All 2K games going forward will have these, including GTA6 whenever it releases on PC considering all the EULA changes. Though by that time reaches, maybe they'll ditch them.

Cool story. I love the depth of your post. You should post more shit posts.

Also, millions of people wanted another Borderlands. Also, if you only played the very first game for 15 minutes, and that's it, why tf are you even in this thread?

I swear I can't figure out if the Borderlands or Final Fantasy trolls are worse here.

 

[IFireflyl]

I don't think I'll be interested in this. Maybe on a sale I might change my mind, or after launch with more reviews and gameplay footage.

 

[Success]

The two trailers were actually very well made.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Which game is more purple? Borderlands 4, Suicide Squad or Veilguard? lol

 

[Sgt.Asher]

That was better then i expected. Still not buying at release.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Doesn't every game have the color purple today?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Updated first post. Vex ability breakdown was uploaded earlier today.

 

[March Climber]

Doesn't every game have the color purple today?

Historians claim they started using it ever since Prince discovered the existence of the color in 1984.
